Closing the Loop in SalesAnaplan enables sales, sales operations, and sales finance to “close-the-loop” like never before. From an integrated set of applica-tions, users can run critical territory and quota planning processes, quote optimization processes, sales analytics and forecast-ing, reporting, and even compensation management. Comparable product suites or spreadsheet-based solutions are inherently complicated, disconnected, brittle, expensive to implement, and too rigid to keep up with the constantly changing demands of a dynamic marketplace. Anaplan provides an easy collaborative solution. It quickly deploys powerful applications to enable real-time closed-loop sales planning, analytics, reporting, and transaction processing.
Customer SuccessJive Software’s Senior Financial Analyst, Scott Kempton, made the decision to implement Anaplan’s Sales Forecast 360 Application. Jive Software was up and running with Anaplan in weeks – all without the help of IT. Very quickly, sales forecasting at Jive changed from a time-sucking process of data chasing, formal checking, and manual roll-ups into a timely conversation about the numbers, with all the sales team’s data and people in one place.
